SPACE KNIGHTS LIVE ACTION SHOOT GO!

Red Knight waiting for his close up.

Right about now (the funk soul brother) we're animating episode 1 of 2 on the good ship Space Knights for Teletoon's Detour uplift pilot program. Wee's got to thinkin about 3 months ago, "hell we've never done any live action mixed with our animation in ages!" So we thought it'd be fun to contact the Space Knights and see if they'd come over and shoot some extra footage for our pilots!

The lighting genius Mark Hemmings checks his blackberry more than you do.

So our delicious Fatkat writer, Brian Tucker kicked us out a few diddys, we passed them to our boys at Teletoon for a quick review and within a week we had our other boys at Hemmings House Pictures come up to shoot some Space Knight goodness. Here are some pics from last week's shoot.

Producer Rob Anderson is always on the phone.

We shot all four clips here at Fatkat, we're lucky we have a vast range of locations within our building that suited our objectives. Having a pub in the basement of the studio has more benefits then we originally plotted!

Creative Producer "Beans" Mark and Andrew all get the final set ready for shooting.

Here's some silly stills from each shoot.

Beans gets the old broom closet down in the Legion bar ready for the Green Knight shoot.

Andrew and I go over the script for the Blue's shoot up in the coffee lounge.

Again in the Coffee lounge, Andrew helps Red get his gear on.

Black of course takes a break at the bar with a pint of lager and his favorite gang sign.

More to show soon!

Go Muthaflippin Space Knights!

FROM THE OFFICE OF ANDY COYLE


I wanted to put up some samples of the new Space Knights for you guys. For those of you who don't know, it's the "other" show we're doing right now. Though I'm not sure how you wouldn't have known that... unless you're deaf and blind... I digress.

First up is the new Red Knight.



The bombastic leader. You can tell because he wears red and has a heroic voice. Like Brendan Fraser, he's tough yet approachable. Unlike Brendan Fraser, he's a big brother on weekends and teaches kara-tay at the local Y. Artistically all of the other knights look the same, just colored different.

And then we have Beyonda.



Beloved wifey of the Black Knight, Beyonda is best described as hot. Sure... loud-mouthed, bitchy, shrill, and irritating are probably more accurate, but who cares when she looks like that!

Last but most definitely not least, Croctopus!



This giant cross between a crocodile and a platypus is looking for love! He's a libra who enjoys long walks on the beach, getting caught in the rain, and timid woodland creatures. Unfortunately he only dates nines or tens, so he spends most of his time smashing things and yelling nonsense.
